Totesport Bookmaker & Scoop 6

Totesport Bookmaker was first known as The Tote. It is perhaps most famous as being the home of the Scoop 6 bet, which can be placed via its Totepool section. The Tote was owned by the British Government until July 2011. At that point it was sold into the private sector and bought by Betfred for a cheap looking £265m. It has an online sports betting, casino and bingo site.

It was one of the principal betting organisations in Britain with more than 4000 employees and over 460 shops but the betting shops were rebranded to Betfred shops. Totesport is a major presence on each of the 59 racecourses in Britain as well as having its internet and telephone betting facilities. Over 150million bets are placed with them every year. It offers betting on every conceivable global sport. It’s Totepool section is the only pool betting operation on horse racing in Britain. Its flagship bet is the Scoop 6 (see more detail below) but is also popular for other similar horse racing pool bets such as the Jackpot and Placepot.

£20 FREE (sports): Totesport’s sports betting section offers £20 to new customers. This is 2 x £10. The first is a free bet for staking a tenner or more as your 1st bet in the sportsbook. The second is also a tenner but this time as cash when your first Totepool bet of a tenner or more has been settled. These are the relevant terms and conditions: New customers only. 18+. Stake £10+ on any sports betting event (not Totepool) for 1st time at odds of evens or more & receive £10 free bet within 24 hours of bet settlement. Seven-day expiry. Stake £10+ on any Totepool bet for the 1st time to be given £10 cash within 24 hours of the bet being settled.

OPINION:Totesport Bookmaker has good sports betting, online casino and bingo sections. Its website is the best place to bet on the Scoop 6 on the internet. It is easier than over the phone or in a shop as the software works out the various perms for you. You can wager on all events with this site and we recommend them.

Guide To Totesport’s Scoop 6 Bet

You may scoop as much as £1m this Saturday with Totesport’s Scoop 6 bet. You can place the bet really easily online via the Totepool section of their website.

Here is how it works: Find the winners of the six designated Saturday races. It costs £2 a line (i.e: £2 a bet) and you can perm as many lines as you want, so you can have lots of chances.

All Scoop 6 races are live on Channel 4 TV, so you can watch your progress. Channel 4 often state how many tickets are left after each race, especially if it is week when the money has swelled to huge proportions. There has been as much as £5million in the pot – think of it as UK horse racing’s version of Lotto. If you get the winners of all six races then you scoop the pool.

Scoop 6 winners also have a free chance to bag a special bonus fund the following week by picking the winner of just one race. But even if you have horses placed in each race you are in the money as there is a place dividend.

Like the lottery, if the Scoop 6 pool is not won it carries over to the next Saturday, so the prize pool can really build up. Many Scoop 6 winners have won up to £1million and a few have scooped a whole lot more.

You can click through to the Totesport website using the link below, where it is very easy to place a Scoop 6 wager via their Totepool section. The software even works out the cost of the perms for you if you pick more than one horse in each race.

Was playing on the sports but now use their casino. Also place a Scoop 6 bet now and then, but only when the rollover is big.

Totesport Good

I use this site for lots of my betting. They now only allow deposits by credit or debit card. I used to use neteller or moneybookers (skrill) but they discontinued that, which is slightly annoying. It is good though.

Under The Radar

Super betting website that seems to go under the radar a bit, even though Totesport is better than all the big names.
